Understaffed? • How is it affecting services? • How does it affect the way you do your job? PEF wants to know how understaffing is affecting you and the services you provide. Only you can tell us how you, your agency’s services and the public are affected.   Please help PEF connect the dots for the public and state legislators so they can understand the effect state budget choices and cuts to staffing and funding have on all New Yorkers.
